[vpn-help] Starting tunnels automatically at boot time

[Dashamir Hoxha]

Hi,

I have done it with the help of 'cygrunsrv' (of cygwin).
The attached file 'vpn_connect_cs.sh' is the script that
is run as a service. It is installed as a service by running
the scripts 'srv_vpn_connection.sh'

I have tested it a little bit and it seems to work. What
do you think about it? Can you see anything that may
go wrong?

Thanks for any ideas,
Dashamir

Has anyone tried to install ipsecc as a service that is activated at
boot time?
